Warner Bros. has advanced the release date of Practical Magic 2 to September 11, just after Labor Day weekend. This date is known for launching horror and genre films and was previously held by the studio’s light genre hit, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, which attracted a mainly female audience.

Originally scheduled for September 18, Practical Magic 2 will now open alongside Focus Features’ new adaptation of Sense & Sensibility. The film is directed by Susanne Bier and is based on Alice Hoffman’s novel, The Book of Magic. The screenplay is written by Akiva Goldman and Georgia Prichett. Producers include Denise Di Novi, Sandra Bullock, and Nicole Kidman, who also stars in the film. Executive producers are Donald Sabourin and Alice Hoffman. The cast features Joey King, Lee Pace, Maisie Williams, Xolo Maridueña, Solly McLeod, Dianne Wiest, and Stockard Channing.

Meanwhile, DC Studios has moved the release of Clayface, a film centered on the Batman villain, from September 11 to October 23. Directed by James Watkins and written by Mike Flanagan and Hossein Amini, the film is positioned as a Halloween event, aligning with other suspense and horror releases. Producers include Matt Reeves, Lynn Harris, James Gunn, and Peter Safran. Executive producers are Michael E. Uslan, Chantal Nong Vo, Lars P. Winther, Rafi Crohn, and Paul Richie. The cast features Tom Rhys Harries, Naomi Ackie, David Dencik, Max Minghella, and Eddie Marsan.

On its new release date, Clayface will compete with several other films, including an untitled A24 project, an untitled Amazon MGM Studios film, Wife & Dog directed by Guy Ritchie, and an untitled NEON release.
